The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
The anti-rattle adapter I recommend is the No-Rattle Trailer Hitch Wedge, part #MPG908. This will work for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch receivers and is designed to insert into the small gap that may exist on your receiver. You then tighten it up after it…
I suggest you add the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories, #18050 to your Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack, #C18085. This stabilizing strap provides extra support to the bike rack and the vinyl-coated hook won't scratch your…
Yes, they'll work fine together! The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack item #C18085 works with class I hitches like the Draw-Tite item #24787. No, the use of the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories item #18050 is not required…

The U-haul 5x8 trailer has a maximum GVWR (maximum recommended weight of trailer plus contents) of 2700 lbs. The trailer's tongue weight, which could be anywhere from 100 to 400 or so lbs will cause the rear suspension of your Highlander to squat…
Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Even if those circuits are LED which do not draw that much relative to incandescent. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from…
